A magnetic recording medium includes a discrete area and an offset amount
measurement area. The discrete area has a plurality of magnetic tracks
where data can be recorded and that has a non-magnetic track where the
data cannot be recorded located between the plurality of adjacent
magnetic tracks. In the offset amount measurement area, measurement data
for measuring an offset amount indicating a relative distance from a
center position of the magnetic track to the first head in a direction
crossing the magnetic track when the second head is on the center
position of the magnetic track can be recorded.
